A personal note from Bread(ish) founder, Lisa Shannon
Hey there — I wanted to take a moment to share something personal.
For the past four years, it has been my mission and my joy to create beautiful gluten-free foods for y’all. Along with my incredible team, we’ve brought you tastes you may not have had since childhood: real doughnuts, bread that actually tastes like bread, pizza that isn’t cardboard. ❤️
And then, in June, everything changed. After a routine mammogram, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and suddenly so much of what I had worked to build felt uncertain.
It’s been a whirlwind ever since, and honestly, my head is still spinning. I’ve had to step back considerably from Bread(ish) to focus on treatment and healing. Thanks to my amazing team, we’ve been able to keep the bakery going while I do that.
I’m recovering now from my first surgery and will begin radiation soon. There is still a long road ahead, including another surgery next spring. I am incredibly grateful for the blessing of being able to stick around a little longer — and for the Bread(ish) team and all of you who continue to show up for us week after week.
A very dear friend has organized a GoFundMe to help my family and Bread(ish) through this time. This has taken all of our resources and more, and I’m not nearly through this journey yet.
Truly, the best way to support Bread(ish) is simply to keep shopping with us. But if you feel moved to donate, your support will help keep me and Bread(ish) going while I focus on getting through treatment and recovery. And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this story and the link is just as meaningful.
Please know how grateful I am for this community. You have been in my thoughts from the very beginning, and if it’s in my power, we’ll keep being here for you — just as you have been here for me and for us.

With love and gratitude,
